Hierarchical Bayes, maximum a posteriori estimators, and minimax concave penalized likelihood estimation

open access: yes, 2013
Priors constructed from scale mixtures of normal distributions have long played an important role in decision theory and shrinkage estimation. This paper demonstrates equivalence between the maximum aposteriori estimator constructed under one such prior ...

Orthogonalized smoothing for rescaled spike and slab models

open access: yes, 2008
Rescaled spike and slab models are a new Bayesian variable selection method for linear regression models. In high dimensional orthogonal settings such models have been shown to possess optimal model selection properties.

The distribution of model averaging estimators and an impossibility result regarding its estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The finite-sample as well as the asymptotic distribution of Leung and Barron's (2006) model averaging estimator are derived in the context of a linear regression model. An impossibility result regarding the estimation of the finite-sample distribution of

Improving both domain and total area estimation by composition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In this article we propose small area estimators for both the small and large area parameters. When the objective is to estimate parameters at both levels, optimality is achieved by a sample design that combines fixed and proportional allocation. In such

Bayesian predictive densities for linear regression models under alpha-divergence loss: some results and open problems

open access: yes, 2010
This paper considers estimation of the predictive density for a normal linear model with unknown variance under alpha-divergence loss for -1

Optimization of ridge parameters in multivariate generalized ridge regression by plug-in methods

open access: yes, 2012
Generalized ridge (GR) regression for a univariate linear model was proposed simultaneously with ridge regression by Hoerl and Kennard (1970). In this paper, we deal with a GR regression for a multivariate linear model, referred to as a multivariate GR ...

Asymptotic oracle properties of SCAD-penalized least squares estimators

open access: yes, 2007
We study the asymptotic properties of the SCAD-penalized least squares estimator in sparse, high-dimensional, linear regression models when the number of covariates may increase with the sample size.

Fast learning rate of multiple kernel learning: Trade-off between sparsity and smoothness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate the learning rate of multiple kernel learning (MKL) with $\ell_1$ and elastic-net regularizations. The elastic-net regularization is a composition of an $\ell_1$-regularizer for inducing the sparsity and an $\ell_2$-regularizer for ...

Normalized and standard Dantzig estimators: Two approaches

open access: yes, 2015
We reconsider the definition of the Dantzig estimator and show that, in contrast to the LASSO, standardization of an experimental matrix leads in general to a different estimator than in the case when it is based on the original data.

Piecewise linear regularized solution paths

open access: yes, 2007
We consider the generic regularized optimization problem $\hat{\mathsf{\beta}}(\lambda)=\arg \min_{\beta}L({\sf{y}},X{\sf{\beta}})+\lambda J({\sf{\beta}})$. Efron, Hastie, Johnstone and Tibshirani [Ann. Statist.
